Micro Solutions Backpack Bantam

Advantages: very good value for money
Disadvantages: not available yet in any higher than 1.5 ghz

...AMD now are on the brink of prdecessing thier main rivals Intel at the processor game. Their most recent processor the AMD Athlon 1.4 ghz has been a great success, and rivals the intel p4 chip with 600mhz more processing power Combined with a DDR (double data rate) motherboard, AMDs chip provides the ultimate solution for high end video editing and games. Compatable with a wide range of main board manufacturers including Gigabyte, Asus, msi and abit, the chip is widely available at low prices, just £90 for the 1.4 mhz chip, which has been proved to be faster than the PIV chip (on a DDR motherboard), and it costs £300 less. If you want a cheap pc with top specs then this processor is for you. With a bus speed of 133mhz and 10.5x clock multiplier, this chip will certainly top my pc upgrade list!... Read review

As most of other brands do not support this function I strongly recommend this device to everyone who wants a bluetooth solution for his PC. Unlike that mentioned in the previous review, the MS-6967 supports Bluetooth Class 1 with a range of upto 100m. This is the best any bluetooth device can get so far. It works fine with IVT BlueSoleil which can be downloaded free from IVT's website. According to my experience the signal is perfect even in a distance. This product also goes with a 12cm (approx.)
